I was invited to a luncheon for the Tony Awards several years ago - when Jane Fonda was on B’way. Jeremy Irons hosted and he did an excellent job; very charming. But, as you and I have noticed, his darkness shows up on screen.

She must be lots of fun at home.

I think she is still an attention whore. Years ago my hubby and I were watching the news one night when we saw that she and Ted Turner had married-I said just what she craves-more money and another famous husband-hubby commented that was NOT a marriage-it was a merger...
